This document discusses education for women and girls in the Middle East. It notes that while education is a human right, many girls in the Middle East do not have access to schooling due to customs, lack of resources, and oppression. Statistics show that over 75 million women and 45 million men in the Middle East and North Africa are illiterate. However, there has been some progress over the past 10 years, with increased access to primary, secondary, and university education for women in most countries of the region. Challenges remain such as high female unemployment and lack of quality education for all. Improving vocational training and removing barriers to women's entrepreneurship could help address issues of unemployment.
Influence of Accreditation on Physical Facilities and Quality Assurance in Ni...YogeshIJTSRD
The general work of the university among other things includes teaching, good physical properties and quality assurance. Universities are recognized as a place to study, collect and impart knowledge and skills of all kinds to students to enable them to be productive upon graduation, to make a living and to make positive contributions to the development of the country. Quality has become a very important issue in university education in Nigeria. Authorization is a systematic review of education systems to ensure that appropriate levels of education, bursaries and physical resources are maintained. Accreditation ensures that the institution maintains quality. The process is designed to determine whether the institution has met or exceeded published standards of accreditation and whether it is fulfilling its stated purpose and purpose. Quality assurance in ensuring the accreditation process falls into the hands of university administrators in general which has created a need for this research. This study examined institutional accreditation and quality assurance its management perspective. It was found among others that the quality of the guaranteed program depends on the level of funding for Nigerian universities. It was also shown that the quality of program accreditation and the resources of Nigerian universities are highly correlated. However, it was also revealed that the accreditation of the program was closely related to staff at Nigerian universities. The study was based on theory but took up large areas of practice during exercise. Obi, Yves-Mary V | Muo, M.

After the global financial crisis the future of interantional higher educationUniversity of Limerick
The market for international higher education has been growing rapidly, with an estimated 2.5m students studying outside their home country. This growth has been driven by excess demand for higher education in developing countries spilling over into the universities of the developed world. The picture was starting to change by the middle of the decade, as Asian nations invested heavily in their domestic higher education sectors and the spread of English-medium instruction and the harmonisation of degree structures led by the Bologna process began to make the international higher education market more contestable. The current “global financial crisis” has disproportionately impacted the two largest exporters of higher education, the US and the UK, both of which are struggling with recession and ballooning fiscal deficits. This presentation explores the ways in which the GFC may accelerate recent trends and lead to a reshaping of the international higher education landscape.

The expansion of higher education in emerging countries: the boom of distance...Bruno Morche, PhD
Presentation given at the seminar "The expansion of higher education in Brazil: new research perspectives" at the Institute of Education (IoE) of University College London (UCL) in London/UK in June/2015. The presentation aimed to discuss two main questions: What are the differences and similarities between higher education expansion in Brazil and in other emerging countries? What role has distance learning played in the expansion of Brazilian higher education?
To achieve the Millennium Development Goal of 'Education For All' by 2015, an estimated 18 million teachers will have to be recruited and trained. An additional 2 million will be required in India alone. For this kind of scale to be realised, a paradigm shift in thinking is required in how we go about educating prospective teachers.
This document discusses the need for open and distance learning (ODL) in Africa to support socioeconomic development goals. It notes that ODL can help address issues like high illiteracy rates, low access to higher education, and growing demand for job skills. While ODL has expanded in other regions, it still struggles with issues like underfunding, poor infrastructure, and lack of integration into education systems in Africa. For ODL to achieve its potential, more work is needed in areas such as developing localized open learning materials, using mobile devices effectively, and establishing strong monitoring and evaluation of programs.

A review of nigerian tertiary institutions of learning and national transform...Alexander Decker
The document discusses the role of tertiary institutions in Nigeria in national transformation. It finds that Nigerian tertiary institutions are poorly funded and equipped, producing graduates without skills needed for development. This is due to issues like corruption, underfunding of education, and lack of modern facilities. For Nigeria to transform, it needs tertiary institutions that can equip youth with skills through quality teaching, learning, and research. The document concludes that if tertiary institutions remain inadequate, Nigeria may fall behind globally in economic and technological development.
The muslim world and its problem in 21st centuryvhjgvhjHaseeb Hassan
The document discusses several problems facing the Muslim world in the 21st century, including:
1. Weak defense capabilities due to low education levels and lack of science/technology development, leaving Muslim countries dependent on the West for defense.
2. Low education spending and poor economic outcomes like per capita income and GDP share, despite natural resource wealth, due to over-reliance on foreign loans and debt.
3. Lack of unity within the Muslim world, divided along national lines instead of recognizing their shared religious identity, weakening their global influence and power.
4. External threats like the growing influence of Western culture and globalization that spread non-Islamic social and economic systems throughout Muslim lands
This document discusses the importance of unity within the Muslim ummah. It notes that Prophet Muhammad said the ummah is like a body, so if one part is in pain the whole body feels it. However, divisions over issues like racism, tribalism and nationalism currently disrupt Muslim unity. The document argues that if Muslims prioritized caring for each other and addressed the problems facing all Muslims, the ummah would be stronger and people would be less likely to suffer from problems like poverty and hunger.

Muslim ummah and contemporary challenges (december 29,2011)IIDC
The document discusses the concept of Ummah in Islam and contemporary challenges facing the Muslim Ummah. It defines Ummah as the community of believers established through the supplications of Ibrahim and Ismail in the Quran. However, it questions whether this ideal Ummah of old still exists today given issues like marginalization of family values, globalization, unipolarism and media wars against Islam. It notes the need to understand the current perception of the Ummah, draw strength from its core teachings and define a role and strategy to strengthen the Ummah by following Allah and the Prophet's guidance.
Syria is located in the Middle East, with an area of 185,180 square km and a population of around 20 million people. Some important historical and religious sites in Syria include the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, one of the oldest and largest mosques in the world built in 705 AD; Maaloula, the only place where Aramaic is still spoken; and the ancient city of Ugarit, where the first alphabet was developed. Syria has a long and rich history and is home to many cultural and religious symbols.
Ottoman rule over Syria ended in 1918 and Emir Feisal briefly ruled as King of Syria until 1920 when France took control under a mandate. French rule faced nationalist uprisings and protests for independence which Syria achieved in 1946. However, political instability continued and Hafez al-Assad seized power in 1970, establishing an authoritarian Ba'athist regime that favored the Alawite minority. When Bashar al-Assad succeeded his father in 2000, he initially allowed some reforms but soon returned to the repressive status quo. Anti-government protests in 2011 demanding democratic change and end to emergency law sparked a violent crackdown and eventual civil war as the opposition took up arms.
The document summarizes the key parties in the ongoing Syrian civil war. It outlines that the war began in 2011 as popular protests against President Bashar al-Assad and Ba'ath party rule. It then describes the main factions supporting the Syrian government and opposition forces.
1) The Syrian civil war began in 2011 with peaceful protests against President Bashar al-Assad's regime, which responded with violent crackdowns.
2) The war has led to over 5 million Syrian refugees fleeing to neighboring countries like Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, and Iraq, overwhelming their infrastructure and economies.
3) The prolonged conflict has also severely damaged Syria's economy, reducing GDP by over 80% and increasing public debt from 23% to 40% of GDP. It has cost over $48 billion in infrastructure losses.

The document discusses higher education in Kenya and Africa more broadly. It makes three key points:
1) Higher education is still a privilege available only to a few in Africa, as only a small percentage of youth have access. In Kenya, only around 30% of KCSE candidates qualify for university each year.
2) There is a lack of comprehensive and up-to-date data on higher education in Africa, making analysis of important issues like equity and quality difficult.
3) The document raises questions about whether limited opportunities in higher education are distributed equitably, and whether those who do access it experience quality education and prepare them for success. Gender inequities also persist in access to higher education

Technology in African Education: ICT from the Bottom UpKevin Martin
Education is one of the most important facets to economic development in Sub-Saharan Africa. The deployment of Information Communications Technology (ICT) in education and the development of pilot programs in some of the most economically depressed and rural regions of Africa can help drive innovation and empower the next generation. Without proper and adequate education innovation becomes stifled keeping individuals impoverished. Technology helps to transform education in Africa by building a stronger workforce and developing entrepreneurs.
Programs such as; CyberSmart Africa, Interconnection Uganda, and m-learning platform’s like Nokia’s MoMath are some of the efforts helping to fight educational challenges, which include teacher training, classroom resources, and access to information.
We welcomed Dr Jeanette Botha (University of South Africa) to the Centre to conduct a presentation and a discussion on issues around the ‘digital divide’ within South Africa (something likely to be an issue in other countries around the world). The main thrust of the talk was: “Who are we teaching?” Dr Botha alluded to the issue of technology driving education vs education driving technology and highlighted numerous concerns of developing world ODL practitioners and students, contextualizing ODEL in South Africa in the current socio-economic framework, with reference to Unisa. The argument was made for the pragmatic consideration of the acquisition and use of appropriate technologies in line with these “real world” considerations.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Editor's Notes
The proportion of enrollment in university in science and engineering versus humanities and social sciences could be viewed as another index of the “quality” of human capital at the level of higher education. The underlying assn is that scientists and engineers are likely to contribute more to economic growth than are social scientists and students of humanity because of the increasing importance of tech innovation and adaptation in the dvpt process. If this assn holds, please note that MENA countries have a high % of their univ students studying humanities and SS. In more than half of the MENA countries, about 2/3 of the students major in those fields and this is the opposite of what we observe in East Asia and to a lesser extent in Latin America
